Volume 1 Darkness Rising Chapter 26 The Oracle Master
Tamar felt that this old woman was very strange, but he couldn't say what was strange, and when he heard the old woman's question, he thought about it and said, "I'm sorry, old woman, we were tracked by the bad guys, and we broke into your place by mistake in a panic......"
Before Tamar could finish speaking, there was a muffled rumble from outside the cave, followed by the crackling sound of falling rain.
Hearing the sound of rain, Tamar suddenly changed his words, "Look, it's raining outside, so let us stay here." β
The old woman seemed to be very talkative, and nodded in agreement.
Tamar asked Zhou Chang and them to come over to greet the old woman, and Angelina was the first to come over, her hands crossed in front of her chest, performing a ritual as a god mage.
The old woman nodded to Angelina, a subtle sneer on her lips.
Behind Angelina was the fat man, and the fat man was far away because his upper body did not cover his body, so he bowed to the old woman with the arch of the Yanxia Kingdom.
I don't want the old woman's eyes to be very sharp, so she smiled and nodded to the fat man, "This kid doesn't have a complete set of clothes, it's pitiful." β
As he spoke, he looked at the inverted triangular boulder beside him, his eyes stayed on a square hole, and he took out a wide robe from it.
The old woman stretched out her hand and handed the robe to the fat man, "Take it and put it on, child." β
The fat man was worried about the clothes, and when he saw the old woman giving him his clothes, he suddenly felt that the old woman was closer than his own grandmother, and he almost didn't cry, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take the clothes, and called 'grandma' vigorously.
After the fat man stepped aside, Taizhang came over, although he has always been lukewarm to people, but after all, he was born in an official family, and etiquette is still very important.
He bowed to the old woman with one hand, the standard monastic manner.
The old woman Mu replied expressionlessly, and said in her heart what are the explorers, divine mages, and talisman masters of the human race doing here.
Without waiting for the old woman to think about it, Kana folded her hands on her waist, bent her legs down slightly, and gave a blessing, which is the way for women in Yanxia to salute.
The old woman looked at Kana in a daze, and suddenly frowned, she couldn't see through the beautiful girl in front of her. Say she's human, but Che doesn't feel a trace of humanity from her. He said he wasn't human, but he couldn't feel the breath of other races from her.
The old woman had only seen this in her master. However, her owner has been missing for a long time.
Heyββ, the fat man suddenly found that Zhou Chang was not here, "Where is Zhou Chang?"
As soon as the fat man's words fell, Zhou Chang's voice came from the entrance of the cave, "Here, it's convenient to go out just now." β
As he spoke, Zhou Chang also walked over.
After seeing Kana, the old woman became extremely curious about their group, so she couldn't help but look at Zhou Chang twice.
Suddenly, the old woman saw the black bracelet on Zhou Chang's wrist and shouted, "Master......"
"What master?" Zhou Chang couldn't help but ask when he heard the old woman's call.
The old woman looked at Zhou Chang carefully, and suddenly found that there was a huge undead power in his body, which was stronger than the undead power of any undead woman she had seen before. However, this man had a human body, and what puzzled the old woman even more was that she actually had the owner's bracelet.
Hearing Zhou Chang's question, the old woman came back to her senses and showed a kind smile, "It's nothing, where did the bracelet on your wrist come from?"
Before the old woman's words were finished, she suddenly found that Zhou Chang was still holding a book with a beast head and a golden face in her hand, and when she saw this book, the old woman's face showed a look of ecstasy, but she immediately covered it up.
Hearing the old woman ask about the bracelet, Zhou Chang and the others' faces also changed.
Taizhang suddenly snorted coldly: "Who are you, why do you ask about the bracelet?"
Listening to Taizhang talking to the old woman so rudely, the fat man, who was favored by the old woman and had a holiday with Taizhang, couldn't help but speak for the old woman: "Ask what can you do with a bracelet, what are you calling blindly! β
Taizhang glanced at the fat man, "Didn't you notice that not only do you not have cooking utensils here, but also beds, chairs, tables and some daily utensils, and more importantly, this place is very close to the Demon Clan's Night City, which means that this is still the realm of the Demon Clan." Don't you think it's strange that an ordinary old man lives here?"
These words did not seem to be spoken to the fat man alone, but to everyone, including the old woman.
Hearing Taizhang's analysis, everyone involuntarily took two steps back and looked at the old woman vigilantly.
The old woman showed a strange smile and said to Taizhang: "Your analysis is good, I am not a human race, but I am not a demon race. My name is Sakya, and I'm a witch. I'm here to find something. β
When the old woman spoke, her eyes were fixed on the book in Zhou Chang's hand, as if what she was looking for was the book in Zhou Chang's hand.
"The Witch Clan has a little dragon or a little snake on their ears, why don't you have one on their ears?" Tamar seemed to be a little unconvinced that Sakya was a witch.
However, before Tamar's words could be finished, a small golden snake suddenly appeared on Sakya's left ear, coiling around Sakya's ear, spitting out the fiery red letter from time to time.
"Little girl, don't you know that the gods of the Wu clan can be hidden?" said Sakya Chong Tamar with a smile.
Zhou Chang felt that Sakya's current appearance was a bit like the strange man he met on the six-legged strange bird he met in Mt. Yubi, but the strange man had a small dragon wrapped around his ear.
"Are you really a witch?, then what are you looking for in the place of the demon clan?" Seeing Sakya's expression staring at the book in Zhou Chang's hand, Tamar had probably guessed what Sakya was looking for, but he still asked.
Rainwater dripped in through the tiny holes and hit the rocky mountains with a clattering sound.
Sakya didn't answer Tamar, but instead pointed to the bracelet on Zhou Chang's wrist and asked, "Where did this little brother get his bracelet?
Sure enough, Sakya asked about the bracelet.
Zhou Changxin said that the bracelet is owned by evil spirits, and the people who have something to do with the bracelet should not be a good person. Taking a step back, "Old woman, do you know this bracelet?"
Sakya's eyes rolled, and he suddenly shook his head, "I don't know, I'm just curious, this bracelet is not what it should be on the Chaos Continent, where did you get it?"
Before Sakya could finish his words, suddenly there were several dull roars from not far away.
At first, everyone thought it was just the sound of the wind breaking the trees, but as the sound became denser and louder, it was clearly the sound of countless Stygians gathering together.
Zhou Chang and the others couldn't help frowning, and the Sakya Che let out a sneer, "The demon soldiers outside are here to arrest you?"
"We've been careful to erase the marks along the way, and with the rain washing, they couldn't have found it so quickly. Tamar said with a puzzled look on his face.
Sakya glanced at Tamar and suddenly walked towards the entrance of the cave, her hands parted to cover the grass of the cave, and she poked her head out to look out.
I saw that there were countless demon soldiers outside the cave, and they were divided into dozens of teams, each team had five demons and a dark Jiao, and they were searching along the grass to this side.
Among this group of demons, there was a demon wearing a black cloak and holding a purple flame ball in his hand. The purple flame ball emitted a lilac light, enveloping the cloaked man in it, like an extra barrier in the sky, and under the raindrops the size of soybeans, the cloak on his body did not have a single wet mark.
At this time, Zhou Chang and the others also walked towards the cave, and looked out.
"Even the Purple Demon Master of the Demon Clan is here, it seems that the Demon Clan attaches great importance to you. β
A hint of cunning flashed on Sakya's face, although she was very eager for the book in Zhou Chang's hand and the bracelet on her wrist. But she was a little jealous of Kana, who didn't know the depths, and Zhou Chang, who had the power of the powerful undead, so she didn't do it for a long time. However, now that the demons of the demon clan have found this place, just in time for them to compete with each other, she Sakya can benefit from the fisherman.
"Or maybe they're looking for you?" Taizhang replied coldly to Sakya.
"I've been living here for almost fifty years, and they haven't come to look for me, but as soon as you enter the cave, they come to you, do you say they're coming to you or to me?" Sakya replied to Taizhang's rhetorical question.
Seeing that Taizhang didn't speak, Sakya suddenly said, "This is a grudge between your human race and the demon race, and it has nothing to do with our Wu clan. I want to avoid it for the time being, so as not to provoke unnecessary entanglement of the demon clan to the witch clan. β
As he spoke, Sakya suddenly shook his head from side to side, and there were words in his mouth.
Not long after, he suddenly heard a monkey's cry from Sakya's mouth, and his figure flashed, and he ran towards the inverted triangular boulder, climbing and jumping like a monkey. Soon, Sakya climbed to the top of the boulder.
Zhou Chang looked at the old dragon bell Sakya suddenly became as vigorous and flexible as a monkey, and climbed onto a boulder more than ten meters high, so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out.
Although the fat man was also curious about Sakya's sudden agility, the fat man was even more curious about Sakya's shaking of his head from side to side, which reminded him of the skeleton man. Every time he attacked or fled, the skeleton man seemed to shake his head a few times. I remembered that Tamar said that when the skeleton man ran away, he saw flesh growing on the skeleton man's hands.
Thinking of this, the fat man's heart jumped violently for no reason, could it be that this Sakya Grandma is the original body of the skeleton man?
The fat man broke out in a cold sweat and said to the others, "Don't you think Grandma Sakya looks a bit like that skeleton man when she shakes her head?"
After the fat man's reminder, others also felt a little similar.
However, Taizhang quickly denied the fat man's statement, "Impossible, as far as I know, the only creatures that have only bones left after death and can grow flesh and blood again are the undead clan." And Sakya is the oracle of the Wu clan, so Sakya must not be the skeleton man. β
The fat man and Taizhang seem to be natural enemies, no matter what the other party says, it must be wrong. Now Taizhang embarrassed the fat man, and of course the fat man was not convinced, "Damn, how do you know that Grandma Sakya is the oracle master of the Wu clan?"
Taizhang glanced at the fat man, "I'll explain it to you, can you understand?"
Taizhang's words obviously meant to look down on the fat man, and the fat man's eyes widened in anger, as if he wanted to swallow Taizhang alive.
Seeing that these two people were about to fight, Zhou Chang was about to open his mouth to persuade him, when Angelina suddenly spoke: "The oracle master is a kind of mage of the Wu clan that is very similar to the ancient language master of the human race, they are proficient in ancient languages, know how to sacrifice to various gods, and obtain great power from the sacrificed gods. Legend has it that they were able to communicate with the ancient gods and obtain oracles, and as long as they completed the oracles commanded by the gods, they could obtain artifacts or be given some kind of eternal spell. β
As she spoke, Angelina glanced at Taizhang and then at the top of the inverted triangular boulder, "The reason why Senior Brother Taizhang said that Sakya is an oracle master is because Sakya suddenly became as agile as a monkey, and she shook her head and chanted a mantra before, which was a simple way to ask the gods. This method of inviting the gods without a sacrifice is generally impossible to invite the gods. However, if you have a contractual relationship with a certain deity, it is different. I think that Sakya and the animal god, Heding, should have made a pact, so he could ask Heding to gain the agility of the monkey. β
After Angelina's explanation, the fat man understood why Taizhang was so sure that Sakya was not a skeleton.
The fat man pouted and glanced at Taizhang, "Damn, didn't Miss Angelina explain it very well, who said that Lao Tzu didn't understand." β
Just as the fat man was yelling at Taizhang, a voice suddenly came from outside the cave. The language was not human, and the people in the room could not understand it. However, listening to the tone of those people, it seems that the cave has been discovered.
The fat man, who had just finished speaking, quickly closed his mouth.
After a while, the voices outside the cave became noisy, and suddenly a shrill voice was heard speaking into the cave in human language: "I know you are hiding inside, and if you come out and surrender now, perhaps I will ask Her Majesty to let you live." β
This voice was familiar to Zhou Chang, and he suddenly exclaimed, "It's that Purple Wizard Flode." β
